Unofficial 2013 Dolphins Depth Chart - UPDATED 09/03/13 At 6:38PM ET

Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, attached to this thread, you can download a Depth Chart in PDF format for the 2013 Miami Dolphins. This is a way we can follow our team being built.

As players are added/released/numbers changed, etc. this Depth Chart will be updated to reflect those changes. Of course this is NOT an official depth chart for the 2013 season. The only official depth chart will be released by head coach Joe Philbin during training camp. This is a nice way to follow our team and where we stand position wise during free agency and the draft, that just a plain roster list can not.

Since changes to the depth chart can change on a daily basis and from practice to practice, it is possible the depth chart could be updated more than once during the course of any given day. Since that is the case, in addition to giving the date that it was updated, I will also include the time in Eastern Standard Time that it was updated.

Players in BLUE indicate unsigned Restricted Free Agents that the Dolphins have placed tenders on. Another team is welcome to try and sign these players, but may be required to give the Dolphins compensation in return. Also, if signed by another team, the Dolphins have the right to match the offer and retain the player.

Players in GREEN indicate unsigned Exclusive-Rights Free Agents that the Dolphins have placed tenders on. These players have two choices, A) Accept the offer and play for the Dolphins, or B) Refuse the offer and sit out the season. These players can not talk to any other NFL team. As long as the Dolphins made a qualifying offer, the team will hold their rights for the entire 2013 season.

Players in RED indicate unsigned 2013 NFL Draft choices made by the Dolphins.

Player in ORANGE indicate unsigned Franchise Tag recipient.

Players in PURPLE indicate unconfirmed undrafted free agent signings. Color will be removed once the Dolphins officially announce the signing.

Don't see one of your favorite players from last year on this list? Most likely it is because those players are unrestricted free agents and free to sign with any team in the league. However, the Dolphins could bring back any of these players by either A) Signing them to a new contract, or B) Giving the player the Franchise or Transition Tag.

Please feel free to offer your input, discuss the roster and point out any mistakes or updates.

About me:
I am a production assistant for Turner Sports and I love my job. I also love the Dolphins and have been writing my own blog since 2007. I would love if you gave it a look and considered it as part of your regular Dolphins web rotation.

Good work. The only reason I included the restricted and exclusive rights free agents is because they are most likely going to be back with the team.

Yeah you're right, especially the ERFAs. I'm actually curious if we non-tender a bunch of our RFAs and re-sign them cheaper. I can't see guys like Moore being tendered for around $1.3 million, even non-guaranteed.

well our gm tendered Murtha at even more last year so its not out of question

That's true, although Murtha was expected to back up both tackle spots and that's a valuable thing. I don't think the team values Moore nearly as high (as indicated by the fact his snaps decreased the last month of the season behind Matthews and Binns) so I don't expect it'd take a $1 million+ tender to keep him. They can non-tender him and offer him a new deal for around the minimum.

They don't have any advantage to non-tender a player and bring him to camp because it's not guaranteed anyway. Murtha and Merling are 2 good examples of players who were tendered, signed then released without any penalties whatsoever...
